Use of Artificial Intelligence

Dummett Copp does not currently recommend the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for decision-making in intellectual property (IP) matters. Clients and prospective clients who wish to use AI tools for note-taking, summarising our advice or similar purposes do so entirely at their own risk. 

Users of AI tools should be aware of the following points.

  • Accuracy. In many IP matters, the choice of language is critically important. AI-generated summaries of written advice, meetings or conversations may use alternative language that does not convey the original intention, omits important details, or otherwise leads to misunderstandings or errors. 
  • Confidentiality and security. AI tools may transmit information to third parties for use as training data or for other purposes. Users should be aware of the risk that the confidential nature of advice and information originating from Dummett Copp could be compromised by the use of AI tools, which could in turn be detrimental to a user’s IP rights or commercial interests.
  • Review and costs. Our policy is not to review AI-generated meeting notes or advice summaries unless we are expressly asked to do so. The review and correction of AI-generated summaries of our advice is a chargeable service.
